Liftruck®

INDEVA®Liftruck: Transpallet or lifting truck or order picker with an electronic manipulator Liftronic® mounted on it.

INDEVA® Liftruck is an industrial manipulator that includes an order picker to carry the pallet with reels, an INDEVA® Liftronic® with articulated arm and an orbital tool head for handling reels. Necessary within the textile industry in the texturizing, spinning and weaving areas to load creels up to 5 m high with reels of max 40 kg . A single man can carry out the whole work cycle: collect pallets in the stock room and carry them up to the creel, place the spools on the creel prior 90° rotation, collect and carry all the tubes and partition carton blanks. The operator can quickly and precisely pick and release the reels, by means of the orbital tool head with expanding chuck . The release is allowed only when the reel is safely placed on the pin. The electronic balancer INDEVA® grants a smooth, quick and precise reel handling.

Pneumatic Manipulators: PN Series

PN series manipulators are traditional industrial manipulators featuring pneumatic control and drive.

PN series balancers can be designed according to the ATEX regulations as per the EU Directives 94/9 regarding applications in controlled environments with danger of explosion, classified classes 1 and 2 (Gas).

PN COMPATTO

PN COMPATTO are pneumatic industrial manipulators with rigid vertical arm, suitable for applications in small size, low ceiling work areas.

Technical Features

Lift speed from 15 to 30 m/min

Control: pneumatic

Air pressure: min 6 bars

Work Temperatures: from +5° to +50° C

Noise level: <70 dB

Main column axis brake

Intermediate joint axis brake

Continuous column rotation

Safety devices: in case of pressure failure a safety devices retains the grip on the load, and the tooling descends slowly till the floor. Special brakes keep the arm and gripping tool still when not used

PN FLEX (PNF)

Pneumatic manipulator with a flexible rope in place of the vertical rigid arm. The PN Flex pneumatic manipulators are suitable for handling loads having their barycenter on the Z axis of the vertical arm. They allow flexible load picking/releasing movements.

Automatic Guided Vehicles – INDEVA® AGV

Scaglia Indeva® is in the business of the low cost automation since 1980 and has been supplying solutions for lean manufacturing applications, namely components for modular structures (Indeva Lean System®) and Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) since year 2000.
